Email sent! Boss told me not to come into work yet so got some time to do it

To be honest I wasn't aware of any damage model problems other than the 190D9 issues! But as always im eager to see any improvements or fixes

will do over the weekend!

Will try again tomorrow. Reinstalled without the crash but now the radio box pops up but isnt responding. Ptt and selecting box 1 2 3 etc wont work with keys I've set. Can hear otherd in ts3 but they cant hear me.

Someone is going to be unhappy about that but it seems fair to me.

Downloaded... getting an installer crash when when i close it after it says its finished. No plugin appears in ts3 plugins folder so obviously its not really finishing the install. Will redownload and try again!

Graphical representation of damage doesn't really reflect actual damage. Also the 190 currently doesnt appear to be effected by damage unless you rip a wing off or set it on fire :( On the other hand player p51s certainly are effected by damage and 20mm cannon ruin your day rather quickly!

Will give it a go.

Cheers robo! Will keep you posted about my progress!

Might give this a try! Does anyone have a video with it in use? i'd love to see how it actually works in game!

Hello I'm just starting to experiment with reskinning the Mustang and have run into a few issues I'm using GIMP and every time I try to open the front fuselage template from ED's downloads section GIMP crashes. Also Theres a hell of a lot of layers and a good few of their titles are in russian so a little tricky for me to work out whats what! I guess what i'm really after is an all english template, which will open in gimp! Can anyone help?

A PR spit would be fun.

Oooh clusterbombs sound fun! I'm looking foreward to using the P47 for ground attack and more options for what to drop on people can only make it better!

Oh you aren't alone sithspawn. The more spits the better! MkI and MkII are lovely machines, elegant and allegedly a joy to fly. The late marks turning into firebreathing animals with far more vices than the early marks. If I could have any aeroplane added to DCS it would be an F.21 spitfire with contra rotating props.

Check out VEAO's subsection....

Aaah i'd love a meteor in DCS. Going head to head with the 262 and seeing if the few advantages of the meteor were enough to give it a way to beat the more advanced, faster aircraft. Or if the 262 was as superior as many believe.

There is only one correct answer... Spit

Suspect its for CoG reasons. Get the rear tank down to a level where the CoG is in a favourable position without the drop tank. So if engaged by the enemy you ditch the tank and have less to worry about with the CoG.

Try to poke more holes in them than they poke in me! Seriously though my biggest tip is teamwork and numerical superiority. Skill comes second. Also resisting the urge to chase down and finish damaged enemy. That just makes you an easy target for his friends. Stall prevention for me is 1 notch of flaps if maneuvering hard and FFB. Cant overstate how much of a help FFB is. Gunnery: learn the gyro site and dont zoom in too far when shooting. You just over-control and spray bullets everywhere. Slight zoom. Size reticle to target wingspan and pull the reticle through the target tail to just ahead of his nose. Generally i will fly a lag persuit until im happy I can pull lead for gunnery. Exceptions are when attempting to close range rapidly. Disclaimer: I'm a bit rubbish at dcs

Great day and very impressed by VEAO's enthusiasm and professionalism. Was blown away by the 3D demonstrations Ells228 showed me. Even more excited about the future of DCS now!

What? wheres the announcement? Which Junkers? although the Stuka is cool I prefer the 88 or even JU52! although I suspect transport missions arent really most peoples cup of tea.

Jet jockeys: look at it like this. The simpler to produce warbirds will pay the bills for the developers. Without whom there is zero chance of any modern fast jets. Mirrors reality in a way! Without early flight we'd not have modern flight.

109k4 for me. Just not a d9 fan

To be honest I always felt the original rewards were too generous from a business standpoint. As a consumer I loved them though. I agree that it would be nice to be able to choose which aircraft you recieve in the lower tier rewards, but hey. I'm more relieved things are moving foreward than dissapointed that i've "lost" something I "paid for". I understood when I backed that there were no guarantees and when Ilya dropped the ball I knew all bets were off when it came to rewards and timescales.

1st ive seen of this! Looking foreward to some bomber escort missions, P51 vs 190D9
